More is Nothing

Silly me
looking out to the sea
touching the soft sand
with my hand
this is all I need...

Are you done with desire?
See where it got you
You had silver, silk,
you wanted gold.
Well here you are..
under the golden sands..
just the golden sands,
and your soul.

Did you stop
to take a look around
a life just went by..
Not a drop left in his fragility
not even a drop for a tear.
And all you breathed in
was more more more.

Greed.

Look at where we are
stuck in the midst of suffering
mentally

Look at what was given to us
so graciously
and here we are
complaining

Look at what we do to ourselves
I'm destroying you
You're destroying me
Pathetically

We are nothing
Nothing but stupid humans
living alone with a great life
not knowing how to live it.

Does it make you stronger?

A little angel
Only five years old
Awake all night
Shivering

She's starving tonight
Her mom is crying
Her brother's in pain
Her dad's away

Does it make you stronger?
Not a tear on her eyes
Not a smile on her face
She thinks it's the same all around the world
She thinks it's no different
No she doesn't wonder why
And there's no tears on her eyes
